New regulations on labeling genetically engineered (GE) foods begin July 1, 2015 in Taiwan. The regulations also cover use of ‘non-GE’ labels, specifically products can only be labeled as “non-GE” if a GE alternative exists in the market or commercial chains. For instance, coffee is not eligible for non-GE labeling as there is not GE coffee being developed and commercialized. Additionally, there is no specific font size requirement stipulated for Non-GE product labeling. Non-GE labeling may be exaggerated with larger font size, for instance, whereas GE labeling must be noticeable by color, font, or background and must be at least 2mm by 2 mm. See the report for details.
